In A Big Country

[Intro]
This is for the late, great Stuart Adamson

[Verse 1]
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
But that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child

[Chorus]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

[Bridge]
So, take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pick yourself off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted

[Verse 2]
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

[Chorus]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Let’s see you sing it loud!

[Chorus: Mike Peters, Audience]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Sing it for Stuart Adamsom!
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Oooh!
